Avondale attracted strong enrolment in 2011, the first-semester intake of 1347 students almost equalling the 2009 record. There were healthy increases in Early Childhood Education, Nursing and Outdoor Recreation. The Bachelor of Nursing program, with a first-year intake of almost 160 students in 2011, has experienced particularly good growth in recent years. Nursing students may choose to study the first year of their course on either the Sydney or the Lake Macquarie campus. In 2011 all eligible nursing and teacher education students received Commonwealth Supported Places, giving substantially discounted tuition and the option of deferring all tuition payments until annual earnings exceed the threshold set by the Commonwealth (currently $44,912 p.a.).
